SSD drive HPE 800 GB 2.5 inch SAS P26358-B21

The HPE 800 GB 2.5 inch SAS P26358-B21 is an internal solid-state drive designed for use in servers and high-performance workstations. With an 800 GB capacity and a 2.5-inch form factor, this enterprise-class SSD uses a SAS interface delivering up to 24 Gbit/s transfer capability to support demanding workloads. The drive targets environments where predictable low latency, consistent throughput and storage efficiency are required for database, virtualization and transactional applications.

Advantages

This SSD offers a combination of high-capacity flash storage and SAS connectivity that provides reliable data access and endurance for continuous server operation. The 2.5-inch form factor and enterprise-grade design enable compatibility with rack-mounted systems and hot-swap bays. The drive's sustained transfer capability and low-latency response help reduce I/O bottlenecks in multi-user and multi-application environments while maintaining data integrity under heavy load.

Suitable for

• Database servers and transaction processing
• Virtualization hosts and hyperconverged infrastructure
• High-throughput file and block storage
• Enterprise applications requiring consistent low-latency I/O

Key specifications

• Storage capacity: 800 GB
• Form factor: 2.5 inch
• Interface: SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) supporting 24 Gbit/s transfer rates
• Optimized for enterprise workloads with sustained throughput and low latency
• Physical weight: 0.5 kg

How to use

Install the SSD into a compatible 2.5-inch SAS bay or drive sled in a server or workstation following the system manufacturer's installation procedures. Ensure the host controller supports SAS connectivity at the listed transfer rate and that firmware is up to date. After physical installation, initialize and format the drive in the operating system or storage controller management interface according to your storage layout (RAID, LUN, logical volume). Monitor SMART and controller health metrics as part of routine maintenance to track drive performance and endurance.

Recommendations

For optimal results in enterprise deployments, use this SSD in systems with compatible SAS controllers and up-to-date server firmware. Plan storage layouts that distribute write-intensive workloads and consider RAID configurations or controller-level caching to improve redundancy and performance. Regularly monitor drive health through management tools and maintain backups of critical data.
